The plan must include details, suchas who will provide care for the children during theparents normal duty hours, temporary additional duty(TAD) assignments, and deployments, as well as otherpertinent information. The parent also must provide awill with guardianship provisions and a power ofattorney authorizing medical care. OPNAVINST1740.4, Department of the Navy Family Care Policy,outlines the family care plan and specifies theinformation parents must include on the certificate.Some people worry that their status as a singleparent may hurt their Navy career, but this simply is nottrue.
